    Voice mail still has uses. There are times you need to be able to receive calls from businesses or government entities. Often those entities don’t have call centers set up to let their workes send texts. Sometimes the only way you can hear news you need to hear is via a phone call.

      Which is kinda funny because they could save money by automating texting for some of the shit they have people call for.

      Though on the other hand, if it’s a legitimate business, you can stop the call spam easier, at least in places with enforced do not call lists.

      That sounds like their problem, and they should fix that. Probably cheaper in the long run too.
